Histological findings for the absorption of small and large liposomes - the basis of future drug delivery and contrast media systems.

Background And Objectives: The purpose of our study was to obtain and characterize carrier systems in different sizes that can affect oral absorption, since the mechanisms of liposome absorption are not yet fully understood. From stomach to the small intestine, liposomes can be gradually destroyed. Understanding the factors that affect oral absorption leads to developing safe and effective nanosystems to improve the oral delivery of therapeutics.

Sexual Dimorphism in the Buccolingual Dimensions of Permanent Anterior Teeth in the Young Iranian Population.

Evaluation of sexual dimorphism is a crucial concern for anthropologists, forensic scientists, and archaeologists. Teeth have been used as an alternative tool to determine sex in forensic anthropology. However, it is necessary to use data specific to a particular population, as different populations exhibit varying degrees of sexual dimorphism.

Treatments in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Effects on Kisspeptin Serum Levels.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common and multifactorial pathology among young women of reproductive age and one of the main causes for female infertility. Most patients are referred to a gynecologist due to specific symptoms such as menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, facial or body acne and inability to obtain a pregnancy. Lately, kisspeptin, a neuropeptide produced in the anterior region of the hypothalamus that seems to modulate the GnRH secretion and therefore the hypothalamic-hypophyseal-ovarian axis (HHO-axis), has been considered responsible for PCOS occurrence.

Kisspeptin Serum Levels in Patients with Endometriosis, New Research Pathways Regarding Female Infertility.

Endometriosis is defined by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, therefore leading to a chronic inflammatory reaction, adhesions development, scar tissue and a distorted pelvic female anatomy, most of the times leading to female infertility. Kisspeptin represents a neuropeptide thought to have an essential role in the reproductive functions of both female and male patients. Recently, positive correlations with kisspeptins were noticed in patients diagnosed with endometriosis.

Kisspeptin Variations in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome-A Prospective Case Control Study.

: Kisspeptin, also named metastin, showed important roles in initiating the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and is an essential factor in the development of polycystic ovaries syndrome (PCOS). Several research studies noticed associations between kisspeptin levels and patients with anovulatory cycles due to PCOS with an increased LH/FSH ratio. The aim of our study was to bring scientific evidence regarding the correlation between high kisspeptin and luteinizing hormone values in subfertile women due to PCOS.

Investigating Nurses' Knowledge about Preeclamptic Patients' Care in a Tertiary Care Centre in Romania.

The present study aimed to investigate nurses' knowledge about the care provided to pre-eclamptic patients in a tertiary care centre in Romania. A cross sectional study. This study was conducted in Polizu Clinical Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Bucharest, Romania, from early January 2019 to the end of February 2019.

Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Dental Caries in Pregnancy.

The early diagnosis of dental caries has an important role in pregnancy, as it allows establishing preventive measures. Besides the clinical examination, there are modern preclinical ways of detecting odontal lesions such as electrical conductivity (EC) and quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence (QLF). Dental radiography and three-dimensional (3D) orthopantomography, although useful, are forbidden during pregnancy (6).

Influence of therapy with metformin on the concentration of certain divalent cations in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Research was performed on a group of 30 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), who never received antidiabetic medication before, and on a group of 17 healthy adults. The patients were administered treatment with metformin, 1,000 mg/day. Plasmatic and urinary concentration of magnesium have been measured, copper and zinc along with the concentrations of glucose, HDL, LDL, cholesterol, tryglicerides, HbA1c, and total erythrocyte magnesium, in advance and after 3 months of treatment.
